First: Logo Recreation… Fernandez Jewelers (conveniently located inside the Centerpoint Mallin Oxnard, CA), is one-in-the-same with Fernandez Fine Jewelry (conveniently located inside the Pacificview Mallin Ventura, CA). We were not asked to design the original logo/brand/identity for either names. We were asked to redesign and recreate them for marketing collateral print and production. As such, we recreated the logo(‘s) in vector format in both color and grayscale.

Now that we had the logos recreated, it was time to start designing the layout of the business cards. Since each storefront is located inside shopping malls prominent to their local market(s), we included corresponding malls logo to each storefront logo/brand/identity respectively.

After business card design and production, we began designing t-shirts, (v-necks and crew), for both Men and Women, in a variety of colors. They are intended for promotional product giveaway to help raise brand awareness.

Pacifica High School commissioned Republic Design Company for the design and production of their 2016 Seniors Rally Tshirts.

Student “My Tran, (Pacifica High School Senior Class Treasurer),” reached out to us for the design and implementation of the Seniors Rally Tshirts. She asked us to come-up with original creative designs that encompassed the look, feel, and livery of Pacifica High School.

Pacifica High School is the Home of the “Tritons (mascot) .” A mythical Greek god, the messenger of the sea. He carried a “Trident” which is a three-pronged spear. It is used for spear fishing and historically as a “pole-arm.”

After some brief research on the history of the look, feel, and livery of thee Pacifica High School (PHS) “Tritons,” we developed a very clean, simple, symmetrical “Trident.” We originally outlined the Trident, added class year “2016” (20 on left, 16 on right) and collegiate block letters “SENIORS,” arched above, (see v1 in image above).

In the normal course of design discovery, we noticed that we could use the Trident to double as the “I” in Seniors.

We continued to develop 5 (five) design variations until they decided upon version 6 (main design featured above).

We’re happy to report… –Due to the success of the Pacifica High School Sneiors Rally Tshirts, they have sold out, and are contemplating a reorder.

“A DAY IN THE LIFE OF…” is a mini documentary profiling Republic Design Company and it’s Principal, (me), “Rafael_Republic.”

With the help of Javier Ordoñez and Jonathan (“Johnny Savage“) Avila of Basic Space Studio; the dynamic duo filmed and edited this mini documentary and helped Republic Design Company bring this project to fruition.

Now-a-days, having a website isn’t enough. The power of video across thee Internet is rapidly becoming a formidable tool that all businesses should employ if having a web presence is vital to a company’s viability. The SEO (Search Engine Optimization) opportunities and capabilities of having a video profiling a (your) company is near astronomical.

With this in-mind, the problem we posed ourselves was, “how do we show existing and perspective clients what Republic Design Company does.” Moreover, “how can Republic Design Company demonstrate ‘graphic design’ in a relatable, tangible light to a perspective viewer?” The seemingly easy solution actually turned-out to be more difficult than anticipated. The reason being is that there are lots of ways to answer these “problems.” The answer we selected was to employ an honest/natural approach by being casual and informative of “Republic Design Company’s day-to-day operations…” The result is the video you see before you…
